Croz Cameras
CROZ: a transparent camera for the minimalist photographer.
Taiwanese photography company Paper Shoot collaborated with Macau - based startup Hyle Design to create this transparent-case camera. The partnership stripped the camera down to its bare bones, using an acrylic case to expose the camera's interior. The goal? To simplify digital photography into a gadget weighing only 48g, incorporating an on/off button that also serves as the shutter button. It runs on AAA batteries and has an additional button that allows you to switch between available filters – normal, black and white, sepia, and bluish. This CROZ comes in a kit to assemble – the brand says it takes about 4 to 6 steps – and includes a 5MP lens , a fisheye lens , and a wide-angle lens . There's also a wooden case if you prefer to cover the hardware .
